Couples who find each other irresistible during the early years of their marriage may become incompatible if they fail to meet these central needs. According to Dr Harley, the needs of men and women are similar, but their priorities are vastly different. Are you able to identify which of the following needs are his and which are hers? In what order would you place them?

Given as a gift to a married couple. Very helpful
Feb 28, 2008
I appreciate how in depth and targeted Mr. Harley gets on the subject. He doesn't just skim over the needs of each sex. As a female, I was going in pretty critical to see if he got our needs right! He explained it in language that was simple and easy to understand, and easy to put into practice. In turn, I found it easy to understand the needs of my partner, in ways I had not thought about before.I had not seen these solutions this in depth in other books, and in such a pleasant and easy to read format. This is a book you will want to keep around and refer to often. I dare say it could be a marriage saver, and a DEFINITE "need to have" for those just starting out.
Jan 18, 2008
Have not been able to read the whole book yet, but the sections i have read have been wonderfully informative. My wife and I read it together and it provides an excellent springboard for intimate and meaningful conversations about our relationship.I recommend it wholly!
Nov 9, 2007
I recommend this book to clients who have dealt with infidelity. However, it's a good book to read even if you haven't dealt with betrayal. It breaks down the different needs that both sexes have in relationships. It helps to identify the things every couple should know. Even if you're not in a relationship, it will help you understand what the opposite sex is looking for. I highly recommend this book.

Minister for Cultural Affairs K.C. Joseph has accused the Opposition of denigrating the decorum of the Assembly by upsetting the rules and procedures to suppress the lack of coordination and disunity among them.
Mr. Joseph told reporters here on Wednesday that though Speaker G.Karthikeyan had agreed to grant time to Leader of the Opposition V.S. Achuthanandan to make his submission on the K.B. Ganesh Kumar issue and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy consented to reply, the Opposition raised a din.
Such violation of rules and procedures was unprecedented in the Assembly. The Opposition members were making a conscious effort to hide dissent and disunity in the CPI(M).
When Mr.Achuthanandan announced walkout from the Assembly on Tuesday and left the floor, the CPI(M) members chose to stay back. They refused to follow Mr.Achuthanandan.
This reflected their poor floor management and lack of coordination.

Not long- it's up. It depends on when a moderator next logs in.
Hi! May I ask you about what time it usually takes your moderators to examine a new thread before exposing it?
Thanks in advance.
Not long- it's up. It depends on when a moderator next logs in.
Thank u for letting me know that.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
I have looked back through your posts to see why one went into moderation. It was because it contained a link.
Posts from new members containing a link go into moderation automatically as a precaution against trolls and spammers. Once you have submitted a few posts, any containing links will appear automatically, without being moderated.
As Tdol said, a moderator will normally approve moderated posts fairly quickly. It can happen that we miss one occasionally. If you have submitted a post that has not appeared after twelve hours, you can ask about this in the Support Area. This will bring it to our attention.

As for adding more fonts to ao, i think its uneccessary but haviong them for download wouldn't be that bad.
More smilies and NO NO NO animeated smilie shit... boggs downt he forums plus it will be carried away and people will only post using them! So animated smilies is a VERY VERY bad idea.
Add 75 pms for regular members... i mean they shouldn't be to lazy... its pretty easy to save the pms and erase them all afterwards. Another small increase for pms for staff maybe 375 0r 400, we actually acumulate alot of pms in a week. "notice's i currently have 195 and jsut a while back i had copyed and erased them all"
MAYBE affliate anime suki and get them to show there currently uploaded unlicensed torrents on ao ^_^
I wasn't referring to animated smileys, Jade. What I meant to ask was, will we be able to upload animated avatars. ^_^
So, as with the PMs, 50 is the maximum for all Elite members?
Oh, what happened to the watch that tells time at AO? I don't see it. Is it hiding somewhere? And, how about a newletter? I guess that font idea went down to drain. U.U
Finally, I think it will be great idea, if some of the great wallpaper and signature designers put up a tutorial on how to make them. It will be a great helps for amateurs like myself and the others.
I had a tutorial page added. U can post tutorials there now.
Ill ask an see if elite members can have 75 pms ^_^
I was wondering if elite members could get a diferent color, if that could be possible it would be hella kool. hey jade the tutorial page is really awesome, thanks for adding that.
Thanks Jade! And the tutorial page is very helpful. Thanks for adding that in. ^_^Quote:

I have one idea. You know how you have a 'View New Posts' option. Maybe you could add a 'View New Threads' option, too. It would very convenient.
Oh, and thank you for all the changes you have been doing. They are awesome! :2thumbs:
I had an idea that may bring more people to AO...I was thinking if you made a link that is put in code so that it may be advertised on Myspace and so forth...where all you have to do is click and BOOM! your at AO..it may bring new members and cool people, but that would be awsome.
The upgrades you have already done are outstanding and thanks for making AO one of the best forums sites ever!

Great looking helmet. We are using these for our JH kids and they all like them.
C. MILLS (Ohio) on May 16, 2011
Great looking helmets; was able to get them in our school colors. They do tend to run large, however. Some of our smaller players can't wear them.
W. ADAMS (West Virginia) on March 8, 2010
Excellent helmet, we just added the facemask and everything fits great. The helmets have a color and seem to be very easy to clean.

Course Description
This course treats the history of the United States as a story of migration, contact, and conflict. Beginning with an overview of the Atlantic World, the course charts the social, cultural, and political history of the North America from contact between Native Americans and European migrants through the development of a colonial economy and the struggle for home rule. It then examines conflicts in the new nation as declarations of independence confronted the stark realities of chattel slavery, industrialization, gender inequality, Indian, removal, and national expansion. The course strives to understand these conflicts as national crises informed by--and enacted through--people's everyday experiences and concerns. Throughout emphasis is given to cultural and social developments and the relationship between the United States and the wider world.
Designed to accomodate 100 or more students.
Grading Policy
Grades will be determined by a midterm exam, a final exam, and one short essay on the course readings.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Rumors at this time of year about college basketball and the NBA never cease.
Now comes one that the Boston Celtics might be ready to trade James Young to obtain Kevin Love and the reason he is not playing in the summer league is to avoid injury and not the neck problems associated with a recent car accident.
Here is part of what Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe wrote this week: "According to two NBA sources, Ainge has been dogged in his pursuit of Love, and several agents believe he has the creativity to put together an attractive package. The Celtics are essentially out of salary cap space, but they do have a $10.2 million trade exception from the Paul Pierce deal they have to use by Saturday. They also have potentially talented rookie James Young to offer in a deal. While Young was ruled out of summer league with a neck injury, there was speculation the Celtics are keeping him on ice in case of a potential deal."
Of course, former Wildcat Rajon Rondo, Boston's point guard, just recently told Baxter Holmes of the Boston Globe that he was happy to have draft picks Marcus Smart and Young on his team.
"I think we got some good picks, some really good picks," Rondo told Holmes. "What I like about Smart is that he competes. He kind of reminds me [of myself]. I like the guys that compete and remind me of myself … And then Young, I've been watching him since he played at Kentucky. He's a knockdown shooter. I've heard that he's even a better shooter than what we've seen in the games. It'll be fun to get to practice with both these guys, to get to know them, to get a feel for them, what they like to do, where they like the ball, and just continue to grow."

Jen draws on more than 15 years in the permanent-makeup industry to fill in sparse eyebrows, augment lash lines with permanent eyeliner, and strategically trace on lip liner to counterbalance lip asymmetries. The tattoo-like makeup applications streamline morning beauty routines, cutting out minutes spent distinguishing eyeliner from off-brand fountain pens. Jen offers free pretreatment consultations, as well as touchups for a modest fee.
Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Center's team, which is captained by board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Rifai, enhances anatomical aesthetics with noninvasive treatments and surgical procedures such as liposuction and facelifts. Microdermabrasion wands zip over sun-hardened skin and injectables such as Botox and Juvéderm work to firm up facial surfaces and fade fine lines. The med spa procedures address a range of concerns, from unwanted hair to achy muscles. Furthermore, consultations at the center are always complimentary.
Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Michelle Hardaway and her staff customize each cosmetic procedure to the customer's needs, vein visibility, and Planeteer power. The non-invasive laser vein treatment eradicates spider veins using laser-transported micro-maids that dust away cobwebs and tidy up the epidermal underworld. Today's deal is only good for spider vein treatment, though Aesthetic Plastic Surgery also performs a full menu of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.
Of the more than 5,000 surgeries Dr. Pramit Malhotra has performed during his career, safety and natural-looking results have been his top priorities during each. To this day, the experienced plastic surgeon ensures these priorities by using advanced technology, including CoolSculpting by Zeltiq liposuction treatments, noninvasive dermal fillers, and quick-recovery postsurgery methods. These techniques have also helped Dr. Malhotra win such awards as Top Doctor 2010 from Realself.com, Best of Ann Arbor Cosmetic Surgeon in 2012, and best plastic surgeon in the 2014 Best of Washtenaw County awards.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph E. Mark helms Plastic Surgery Arts and Spa?and, per his certifications, he finesses physiques with artful reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. However, he and his team work just as effectively without incisions, especially when it comes to contouring. They have a noninvasive method at their disposal: CoolSculpting. The process freezes stubborn fat deposits so the body can eliminate them naturally.
The team takes care to earn the "spa" in their center's name, too, with plenty of treatments that beautify bodies without reshaping them. Their spray tans, for instance, give clients a summery glow free from UV damage, while laser hair-removal treatments neutralize unwanted stubble and address especially severe cases of hat hair.
On an extensive r?sum? that boasts more than 25 years of experience, what stands out is Dr. Haitham Masri's distinction as Michigan's first board-certified facial plastic surgeon. He and other doctors helm his namesake clinic, each one wielding his or her own specialized expertise to focus on different parts of the body. Before beginning any surgery, they take as much time as necessary to answer questions and explain procedures with detailed brochures, slideshows, and diagrams.
Alongside the center?s cosmetic surgery specialty is the nonsurgical branch, where minimally invasive procedures geared toward enhancing outer appearances require less downtime. Aestheticians resurface faces with chemical peels, smooth wrinkles with dermal fillers, and man lasers to remove unwanted hair and leave bodies smooth.

TYLER — The cause of a house fire that happened in Tyler late Tuesday night has not yet been determined.
Just before 10:00pm on Tuesday, Tyler firefighters were dispatched to the fire on the 1500 block of Bowie Dr, where neighbors had reported a house fire.
When first responders arrived, at least 2-3 bedrooms were heavily involved in fire.
A second alarm was called, and firefighters were able to quickly control the fire.
Luckily, nobody was in the house at the time. However, the house had severe damage.
Authories with the Tyler Fire Department tell KETK, in addition to general fire damage, there was a large amount of smoke and heat damage to the entire house.
Red Cross was contacted to assist the homeowners with items that their insurance wasn't able to help them with immediately.
They are temporarily staying in a hotel.
Investigators will be out Wednesday to investigate the fire in the daylight to try and determine a cause.
Tyler Fire officials are urging prevention, and say that almost everyone is affected by fire at some point in their lifetime.
October is fire prevention month, but they say fire prevention should be thought about year-round.

AMESBURY — The Lake Gardner Improvement Association will hold its first Lake Gardner Canoe-O-Canoe, Kayak and SUP Orienteering Adventure Race on July 20 at the Lake Gardner public beach off of High Street in Amesbury.
For those not familiar with canoe orienteering, it is similar to a scavenger hunt with a canoe, kayak or SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board). The only equipment you will need is your boat, paddles and floatation devises. There will be a canoe orienteering clinic at 9 a.m. and registration is from 9:45 to 11:30 a.m. Orienteering starting times are from 10 a.m. to noon.
This event will feature two great courses and all paddlers from novice to advanced are welcome. There will also be a fun, short course for those who have never experienced orienteering and a longer course for the more experienced. Registration fee is $15 for adults, $10 for current NECKRA members and $5 for youths under 17.
This is an easy flat water paddle through scenic Lake Gardner and the Powow River. Ample parking is available. All proceeds will be used for stewardship of the lake and surrounding trails. For more information visit www.lgia.org, email race director Shaun Burke at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Bernadette Lucas at 978-388-1592.

One Phoenix police precinct is doing a 6 month study where officers work 3 13 hour 20 minute shifts in a row with 4 days off. Normal Phoenix P.D. shifts are 4 10 hour days. I follow stuff like this closely because when I ETS out of the Army I am going to be applying with Phoenix P.D. So officers on DC what are your shifts and how do you like them?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Miss Camille!
Facts about Miss Camille
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Miss Camille's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots.
My name is Miss Camille and I am an adorable little gal around 8 months old! I was found in a local park and turned into Miss Kitty's. I am a black kitty with little white hairs throughout especially the ones that form a little color around my neck. I am being fostered along with my "step brother", Quincy. Because I came into contact with an FIP cat (Feline infectious peritonitis), I am now considered "special needs", but that does not mean I will ever have the disease. But as a result I need to be with a single cat owner or adopted with my companion, Quincy. I am a very calm, quiet little girl and would be great in a quiet home. I have become a "sink sitter"and love wrestling with Quincy! Please call my foster mom, Elizabeth for information on Camille or Quincy at (928) 848-9509
Other Pets at Miss Kitty's Cat House
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Miss Camille, a Prescott Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Prescott, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Prescott.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Prescott already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Prescott breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Prescott paves the way for another one to be saved.

Movie review
"Hamlet 2": Good idea becomes much ado about ... not much
Steve Coogan flails, to occasional comic effect, in Andrew Fleming's drama-kid comedy "Hamlet 2."
Seattle Times movie critic
"Hamlet 2," with Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, David Arquette, Amy Poehler, Melonie Diaz, Joseph Julian Sorian, Skylar Astin, Phoebe Strole, Elisabeth Shue. Directed by Andrew Fleming, from a screenplay by Pam Brady and Fleming. 92 minutes. Rated R for language including sexual references, brief nudity and some drug content. Lincoln Square, Neptune and Pacific Place.
Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) is a Tucson drama teacher who believes that "to act is to live" — consequently, his whole life seems like an act. He roller-skates to work, dresses in odd caftans and likes to make announcements like, "My life is a parody of a tragedy." His wife Brie (Catherine Keener) is contemptuous of him, his students are mostly dismissive, the pint-size critic at the school paper hates his work and the school principal announces that the drama program's being canceled. What does Dana do? Why, stages a musical sequel to "Hamlet," of course.
Andrew Fleming's "Hamlet 2" is one of those movies that I really wanted to like better than I did; the idea sounded fresh and the cast gifted. And it's full of appealingly goofy moments that show that Fleming and co-writer Pam Brady understand the world they're writing about it. Dana has two devoted students (the other ones mostly ignore him, at least initially) who've breathlessly immersed themselves into the be-in-the-moment actor mind frame: When a moment of violence takes place in the classroom, young Epiphany (Phoebe Strole), who's in no way involved with the incident, gasps happily, "I can't believe this is happening to me!" Amy Poehler brings her sharp-eyed quickness to a small role as an ACLU lawyer brought in to keep the school from shutting down Dana's show.
And Elisabeth Shue appears as herself — that is, as a version of the actress Elisabeth Shue, who got tired of acting and decided to become a Tucson fertility-clinic nurse. It's a performance so utterly endearing that the movie calms down when she's present. When Dana persuades her to talk to his students about acting, she projects a sweet real-person nervousness; within this movie's universe, she's the only character who's really an actor, and she's less mannered than anyone else on screen.
This, alas, brings us to the movie's main problem. Coogan, an often brilliant comic actor (check him out in "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story"), is giving a performance here that's so outsize, it mostly falls flat. Except for a perfect little Jeremy Irons imitation late in the movie, he's flailing, and Fleming doesn't seem to know how to rein him in. Likewise, the show the kids put on at the end of the movie is so deliberately absurd it's unintelligible; particularly in a number called "Sexy Jesus," it's weird without being funny.
"Hamlet 2" is a likable movie even as it careens around like a wagging tail, but it's just too uneven. There's a very nice, subtle performance in it by a cat, a reference to which I scribbled in my screening notes. When you start critiquing the cat, alas, something's gone off the rails.

Description This invention relates to wave-guiding structures and, more specifically, it relates to wave-guiding structures in which the lasing species is erbium, eg the ion Er3+. The lasing species is contained in a silica based glass. During the period 1985-1990 there has been substantial interest in the use of photonic amplifiers in telecommunications optical networks. This has included both semiconductor devices in which the primary source of power is electrical as well as wholly optical devices in which a signal at one optical wavelength is amplified and the power to drive the amplification is derived from a pump optical signal at a different frequency. The wholly optical devices can be configured in the form of a fibre wave-guide which is geometrically compatible with the transmission fibre in the telecommunications network. This geometrical compatibility confers substantial operating advantages and these advantages have given substantial technical significance to research into lasing structures and especially into lasing structures which can be implemented in the form of fibre. Wavelengths in the range 1500 nm to 1600 nm have been recognised as particularly suitable for use in optical telecommunications and, therefore, photonic amplifiers which amplify at these wavelengths are of particular interest. It has been recognised that erbium, eg the ion Er3+, will, when suitably pumped, lase at these wavelengths. Thus photonic amplifiers based on erbium as a lasing species have been extensively studied. More recently it has been recognised that erbium contained in a host glass of silica and germania has an operational bandwidth which is undesirably narrow for some applications. For example, it may be desired to operate a frequency division multiplex which uses optical signals at both 1530 nm and 1560 nm. It has been found difficult to achieve satisfactory amplification at both of these wavelengths because of the narrow operational bandwidth of the erbium lasing species. It has now been most surprisingly discovered that the operational bandwidth of the erbium can be increased to a satisfactory extent by the presence of only a small quantity of alumina in a host glass containing 3�-30�/o mole of germanium in silica. The fact that the concentration of alumina is surprisingly low is of substantial operational importance because the alumina has very little effect on the other operational parameters of the wave-guide structure. According to this invention the path region of a wave-guiding structure is wholly or partly formed of a laser composition which has 0.1 ppm molar to 5000 ppm molar of erbium contained in a host glass which consists essentially of SiO2, GeO2, Al2 O3 and additives. In this composition the amount of the additive is less than 5�/o by weight, preferably less tan 1�/o by weight. The path region contains x mole �/o of the GeO2 and ax mole �/o of the Al2 O3 wherein x=3-30 and is less than 0.35 (eg a is in the range 0.001 to 0.35), preferably a=0.01-0.25, ie the mole ration of Ge:Al is more than 2.8 and preferably Ge:Al=1:0.1-0.25. There are two major variants of this invention. In the first variant the path region is of approximately uniform composition and it consists entirely of the lasing composition. In the second variant of the invention the composition of the path region is designed to be non uniform. The concentration of the erbium is greater in the central path region than at the periphery thereof. Preferably the path region consists of two regions, namely an inner region and an outer region which surrounds the inner region. The inner region is preferably of approximately uniform composition and it consists entirely of the lasing composition as specified above. The outer region consists of a different glass which may have the same refractive index as the inner region. The inner region preferably constitutes not more than a quarter, eg 5�/o to 25�/o, of the cross-sectional area of the path region. (The concept of non-uniformly distributed lasing additives in glass fibre wave-guides is disclosed in EP 313209 and to Japanese equivalent JP 89/145881. Co-pending applications were also filed on Oct. 13, 1988 as U.S. Ser. No. 257,101 and CA 508531.) The most important of the additives is phosphorous, which may be present in the fibre in the form of a phosphate. The presence of phosphorous reduces the viscosity of the glass which makes it possible to work at lower temperatures. The presence of the phosphorous in the core helps to reduce the risk of crystallization by the Al2 O3 and this crystallization is a substantial risk in certain preparative techniques. At low concentrations of Al2 O3 is possible to avoid the use of phosphorous in the core. The preferred configuration is an optical fibre in which the path region as specified above constitutes the whole of the core which is surrounded by a cladding of a different glass composition which has a lower refractive index than the core. The preferred cladding glass composition is pure silica, optionally containing melting point depressants such as phosphorous and fluorine to control the refractive index. As well as the fibre per se, the invention includes photonic amplifiers comprising a lasing length of fibre according to the invention coupled to a pump for providing pump radiation to excite the erbium into an inverted population state suitable for sustaining the lasing process. Several different wavelengths are suitable for use as a pump radiation, these include 514 nm, 650 nm, 800 nm, 980 nm, and 1480 nm (these figures should be regarded as having a tolerance of 125 nm). Of these five wavelengths 980 nm and 1480 nm are regarded as particularly suitable. The laser length of the fibre is related to the available pump power and the concentration of the erbium. A higher pump power enables a longer laser length to be used and lower erbium concentrations are also related to a longer laser length. Recent experience suggests that better amplification is achieved by using relatively low erbium concentrations and relatively long laser lengths, ie the gain per meter is small but a high total gain is achieved by using a long laser length. It is considered that adequate gain is unlikely to be achieved with laser lengths of less than 0.5 m whereas it would be difficult to propagate the pump radiation over laser lengths of more than 10 km. For most purposes it is considered that laser lengths of 1 m-200 m, preferably 10 m-50 m, would be appropriate. The invention also includes telecommunications systems which comprise an amplifier as defined above having the input and output fibres operatively coupled to input and output transmission fibre. It will be appreciated that a telecommunications system, eg a submarine system, is complicated, important and expensive technology and, therefore, its components are individually designed for the system's specific requirements. The most important requirements which affect the amplifying fibre are: (a) that the amplifying fibre shall match, as closely as possible, the transmission properties of the transmission fibre, and (b) the amplifying fibre must support lasing transitions to give a high gain for a low pump power. It is also important to minimize, and preferably eliminate, any tendency to oscillate which means that is it important to minimize reflection at the two ends of the laser lengths. Requirements (a) indicates that the core of the amplifying fibre be of similar size as the core of the transmission fibre. It is easy to appreciate that mis-matched core sizes will cause signals to be lost at either the input or the output end. It is also convenient that the external diameters be the same which implies that the claddings are the same. Matching the cladding sizes is less important than matching the core size. Requirement (a) also indicates that the optical properties be matches, ie that the refractive indices be the same. (It will be appreciated that a refractive index step in a path tends to cause unwanted reflections.) The difference between the refractive indices of core and cladding is an important performance parameter but individually matching the core and cladding indices also matches the difference. In the case of the cladding it is possible, and usually desirable, to utilise the same composition for both transmission and amplifying fibre. The composition is usually SiO2 with P and F as additives. Requirement (b) necessitates that a laser additive, ie erbium or Er3+, is present in the core of the amplifying fibre and this prevent the same core compositions being used in transmission and amplifying fibre. The transmission fibre usually has a core of silica/germania glass and this can be used as the host glass in the amplifying fibre. The concentration of erbium is adjusted to give the desired laser power but the bandwidth is less than ideal. The bandwidth can be made wider by introducing alumina into the core. Adjusting the Ge:Al ratio within the ranges stated enables a desired bandwidth to be achieved. The alumina increases the refractive index so it will be necessary to adjust the germania content to obtain an exact index match between cores of transmission and amplifying fibre. In some instances it may be appropriate to introduce phosphorous to help stabilise the composition and this may also require adjustment of the germania to achieve an index match. (If a fibre with two regions in the core is used, the outer region conveniently has the same composition as the core of the transmission fibre and the above considerations apply to the inner zone.) One method of making optical fibre wave-guides according to the invention utilises the modified chemical vapour deposition process usually identified as MCVD. MCVD is sometimes known as inside deposition process because the glasses which eventually form the operative part of the fibre are produced by converting the equivalent chlorides into the desired oxides which are deposited, layer by layer, on the inner surface of a substrate tube. Usually a total of 10-30 layers are deposited. As initially deposited, the glass is porous but the porous material is immediately fused to give a solid layer upon which subsequent layers are deposited. When all the layers have been deposited the tube is collapsed into a rod which is drawn into fibre. To make fibre according to this invention this procedure is followed for the cladding but a precursor of the core is deposited but left in the porous state. The erbium and the aluminium are introduced as solution into the porous layers. After solvent removal and conversion to oxides is necessary, the porous layer is consolidated and the tubular configuration is collapsed into a rod which is then drawn into fibre. It should be noted that the introduction of additives by soaking the porous layers is a well-known modification of the MCVD process. Other methods of making the fibre include: 1) The vapour axial deposition (VAD) technique whereby a porous boule of doped silica is fused into a rare-earth doped boule by fusing at approximately 1200�-1400� C. in an atmosphere of the rare-earth chloride. Alternatively the boule can be soaked in an alcoholic solution as described in the MCVD technique above. The fused doped boule is surrounded by a cladding glass and drawn into fibre. 2) The outside vapour deposition (OVD) technique has also been reported to make rare-earth doped fibre. This is similar to the VAD process, but the rare-earth dopant is introduced into the boule during the deposition process from an organo-metallic source. The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 illustrates a fibre according to the invention made by the MCVD process and having an uniform core; FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative form of fibre made by the MCVD process and having a core consisting of an inner and an outer zone; and FIG. 3 illustrates an amplifier configuration. The preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 1, is a fibre which has a residual layer 10 which is the residue of the substrate tube used in the MCVD process. Inside the residual layer 10 the fibre has a conventional cladding 11. The residual layer 10 consists of substantially pure silica glass and the cladding region 11 consists of silica glass, usually having a slightly higher purity than that of the residual layer 10, but containing phosphorous and fluorine as dopants to reduce the melting point of the silica in order to facilitate processing. The phosphorous slightly increases the refractive index of the cladding but the fluorine slightly reduces the refractive index. The ratio of F/P is adjusted so that the refractive index of the cladding 11 is substantially equal to the refractive index of the residual layer 10. This ensures that the two layers 10 and 11 function as a single cladding in the optical wave-guide. In some instances excess F is introduced into the cladding glass to produce a low index material. The core region 12 is of uniform composition and it is formed of a silica/germania glass which contains Er3+ as the lasing additive and alumina to adjust the lasing bandwidth of the Er3+. The composition of the core 12 will be further specified in examples given below. An alternative form of fibre according to the invention, which is shown in FIG. 2, includes the same layers 10 and 11 as shown in FIG. 1. However, the core comprises an outer region 13 which surrounds an inner region 14. The outer region 13 consists of a silica/germanium glass and the inner region 14 also contains alumina and the lasing species Er3+. It should be noted that there is no lasing species and no aluminium in the outer region 13. Fibre as illustrated in FIG. 1 was prepared by a substantially conventional MCVD process in which a substrate tube was rotated in a glass blowing lathe while a reactant gas was passed through its bore. In the course of the preparation two different reactant mixtures, to be specified below, were used. A short segment of tube, about 2 cm long, was heated to reaction temperature by a travelling flame. In this segment chlorides were converted into oxides which deposited as a porous ring downstream of the flame. As the flame traversed, in the case of cladding, the deposit was fused to form a thin layer on the inner surface of the substrate tube. In the case of the core, a lower temperature was used so that the deposit did not fuse whereby it remains porous. The reaction mixture used to form the cladding precursor was obtained by bubbling: 700 ml/min of O2 through SiCl4, 90 ml/min of O2 through POCl3. The mixture of these two gas streams was diluted with 1.5 liter/min O2 and 1.0 liter/min He. In addition, 2.5 ml/min of CCl2 F2 were included in the mixture. The maximum temperature in the hot zone was 1600� C. and the flame travelled at 18 cm/min. The ratio of F:P was chosen so that the RI of the cladding was equal to that of the substrate tube. Ten cladding layers were thus deposited on a substrate tube of 10 mm inner diameter. These fused together to form a cladding layer of SiO2 doped with P2 O5 and fluoride. Three layers to form the core were deposited next. The reaction mixture used for each layer was obtained by bubbling: 100 ml/min at O2 through SiCl4 120 ml/min of O2 through GeCl4 10 ml/min of O2 through POCl3. The mixture of these three gas streams was diluted with 1.5 liters/min of O2. The torch transverse rate was 17 cm/min and the maximum temperature was at 1300� C. (which is too low to fuse the deposit). (Note. In all bubbling operations the liquid was at 25� C.) At this point the tube was removed from the lathe and dopants were introduced into the porous layers by immersion for 1 hour in an aqueous solution of 0.65 M AlCl3.6H2 O 0.002 M ErCl3.6H2 O (Note, alcoholic solutions are also suitable.) After soaking, the tube was drained, blown dry with N2 for one hour, and returned to the lathe where it was heated at about 800�-1000� C. for a few minutes. This completed solvent evaporation. The temperature was raised to about 1900� C. for collapse to a rod. This also ensured conversion of AlCl3.6H2 O to Al2 O3 and ErCl3 to Er2 O3. The tube was flushed with O2 /He mixture during all of these stages (about 10% volume of Cl2 is advantageously introduced into the O2 /He mix to assist in obtaining a dry product.) The resulting preform was drawn to a fibre as specified in Table I. TABLE I______________________________________Cladding (11)OD 15.7 μmID 5.4 μmRI matched to silicaCore (12)Diameter 5.4 μmGe 7.5 wt % -Al 0.35 wt %Er3+ 500 ppmSiO2 balanceMole ratio Al:Ge = 0.1:1General PropertiesOD 120 μmLP11 Cut Off 1240 nmRI step .016______________________________________ A fibre as illustrated in FIG. 2 was prepared by a method similar to that described above. A cladding consisting of 20 layers was prepared using the reactants designated above and this was followed by the deposition of 3 layers of SiO2 /GeO2 each of which was fused as it was deposited. Finally, 3 layers of SiO2 /GeO2 were deposited and left in the porous state. These layers were soaked with aluminium nitrate and erbium chloride as described above. After soaking, the tubular structure was converted to fibre using a method as described above. FIG. 3 shows an amplifier using the fibre specified in Table 1 as the amplifying medium 32. The amplifier comprises an input transmission fibre 30 fusion-linked at 34 to 20 m of amplifying fibre 32 which is also linked, at 33, to output transmission fibre 31. Both transmission fibres 30 and 31 have silica glass claddings and germania/silica glass cores. A pump 37, which provides pump radiation at 1480 nm, is connected to link fibre 36 which forms a wavelength selective fused fibre coupler 35 with the input transmission fibre 30. The coupler 35 passes the pump radiation at 1480 nm into the amplifying fibre 32 but it does not take out signals at 1530 nm to 1560 nm. Using pump power of 70 mW the amplifier gave a gain of 30 dB for signals at 1550 nm. More specifically, it amplified an input power of 0.01 mW to an output power of 10 mW. The "full-width half-maximum" bandwidth was measured for this amplifier. This measurement specifies the bandwidth, in nanometers, over which the gain is at least half the maximum gain available. For the amplifier shown in FIG. 3 the FWHM bandwidth was 35 nm (and the specific amplifications at two wavelengths of interest, namely 1530 nm and 1560 nm, was 27 dB or better). The effect of the Ge:Al ratio can be illustrated by the fluorescent spectra of silica/german/alumina glasses since it si the performance of the glass which is exploited in the fibre. The FWHM bandwidth of fluorescence, ie the bandwidth over which the fluorescence is half the maximum, is similar to the figures quoted above and it can be used as a guide to fibre performance. Values for glasses with five different Ge:Al ratios are given in Table 2. TABLE 2______________________________________ Mole Ratio Ge:Al FWHM______________________________________ 1 0 26.5 nm 1 0.03 37 nm 1 0.10 43 nm 1 0.35 46 nm 0 1 47 nm______________________________________ Table 2 indicates that the maximum bandwidth is achieved in glasses which contain silica and alumina with no germania. However, bandwidth is not the only consideration which affects the performance of amplifying fibre. Other properties, and particularly the excess attenuation and compatibility must also be taken into account. In respect of these properties alumina is undesirable and the use of fibre with high alumina content is, in many applications, not acceptable. The "excess" attenuation of a laser fibre is that part of the attenuation which is comparable to the attenuation of transmission fibre but the attenuation of both the pump wavelength and the signal wavelength must be taken into account. The erbium, ie the laser additive, is intended to interact with both pump and signal wavelengths. Pump radiation is clearly, and intentionally, attenuated by the lasing process but there may also be undesired additional attenuation, eg caused by mechanisms similar to the mechanisms which cause attenuation transmission fibre, which constitute the "excess" pump attenuation. The signal wavelength can also be absorbed by the erbium but, in normal laser operation, the erbium is excited by the pump radiation so that amplification occurs. However, there are still additional mechanisms similar to the attenuation in transmission fibre and these additional mechanisms constitute the "excess" attenuation signal. Many telecommunications networks use silica/germania fibre and, therefore, these is a requirement for laser fibre based on silica/germania to achieve compatibility with the transmission fibre in the rest of the network. The presence of large proportions of alumina would cause excess attenuation. Table 2 indicates that a mole ratio Ge:Al equals 1:0.35 give nearly the same bandwidth as a silica alumina fibre whereas this small proportion of alumina has relatively little effect upon the excess attenuation and other transmission properties of the fibre. Table 2 also indicates that very low, eg Ge:Al ratio below 1:0.01, can give very slight enhancement of the bandwidth which may be appropriate in certain circumstances where it is necessary to affect only minimally the transmission properties of the fibre. However, for most purposes it is considered that mole ratios above Ge:Al equals 1:0.01 would be acceptable. When laser amplifiers in the form of fibre were first suggested it was considered that very short lengths of fibre, eg below 0.5 m, would be appropriate and, in these circumstances, the excess attenuation of the laser fibre is unimportant because of the short distance. It has now been realised that there are substantial advantages in performing the amplification over longer distances. Distances of 10 m-200 m are under present consideration and it is believed that in the future even longer distances, eg up to 2 km may be appropriate. At these long laser lengths the effect of excess attenuation becomes important and it is even possible that the excess attenuation could nullify the amplification. It is, therefore, important to provide laser fibre with very low excess attenuation. Patent Citations

- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
CHIWEENIE I's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Other Pets at Hands On Rescue- Savage MD
Why Adoption is a Great Option
CHIWEENIE I, a Savage Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Dachshund for sale in Savage, or seeking a Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy from a breeder in Savage.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Savage already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Savage breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Dachshund breeders who help with Chihuahua/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Savage paves the way for another one to be saved.

I do not want to go all out and get a Dale Fricke or Garrett or anything along those lines at this time. So, I'm wondering what some cheap (well below $50 would be nice if that exists) AIWB options are. Essentially I'm trying to choose between a Glock 26 and 19 as a CCW (whenever that becomes legal here) and figure if I can hide the Ruger I can hide the G19.

Dating After Divorce? 3 Pitfalls To Avoid
Another question to ask: Am I happy alone even without a man in my life? If the answer is yes, then you're ready to get involved in a new relationship. But if the only reason you're getting involved in a new relationship is because you can't stand to be alone, then your new relationship may indeed be a rebound relationship. As you heal from your divorce and think about the lessons you learned from it, your new relationship can be transformed from a rebound relationship to a real relationship, as long as it's based on more than just physical attraction. Single & Ready To Mingle? 5 Places To Meet Local Men
3. Unintentionally holding onto baggage. None of us are blank sheets of paper. We have all been hurt in the past. The key is to find ways to release the baggage so it doesn't get stuck inside of you. In fact, much of the time, you're probably not even aware of your baggage.
It's time to start having an internal dialogue with yourself. Did you spend enough time alone after your divorce to really think about what caused the collapse of your marriage? While your ex-husband likely played a part, did you have any destructive habits? Blame is one of the most common destructive habits I've seen in couples. Divorced & Dating? Why You Haven't Met Mr. Right
We want to blame our significant others for the way we feel. But our emotions have our nametags on them. We own them. Rather than telling our partners "You're making me angry," it's much better to say, "When you did X, Y, or Z, I didn't feel so good. I felt really uncomfortable."
Whether it's avoiding blame or any other relationship-sabotaging factors, is there anything you could do differently in a new relationship to stop it from going the way of your marriage? It's only when you answer this question that you can say goodbye to your baggage and hello to a wonderful new relationship.

The organist of Notre Dame
Philippe Lefebvre has traveled the world to play what he describes as an "orchestra of one," but the organ master returns to the loft above Notre Dame and is never disappointed. He has none of the infamy of Notre Dame's bell-ringer and is invisible to the thousands of visitors Notre Dame receives each day. But Lefebvre says he never misses the direct contact with his audience that so many musicians crave. For the 64-year-old, it is enough to be the caretaker of what he considers an almost otherworldly instrument.

Increase in coir products trade in and outside the country might often be laid at the doors of GI registration though it was not a major issue to be factored into the business of coir exports
What do Palakkad madhalam, Scotch whisky and Banarasi sari have in common? They have been united under the Geographical Indications Registration (GIR), a unique form of recognition of Intellectual Property Rights under the World Trade Organisation.
Madhalams are hand-held drums, the best of which are made in the Palakkad district of Kerala. They are a must in Kathakali ensemble, an integral part of Kerala's culture just as Scotch whisky cannot be left out of a discussion on alcoholic drinks anywhere in the world.
However, the jury is still out on the benefits of GIR. Products ranging from silk sarees of Banaras to coir from Alappuzha; pineapple from Vazhakkulam in Kerala to chaddhar (bedsheets and spreads) from Sholapur in Maharashtra have had varying experiences.
The Chennamangalam Handloom Weavers' Society was pleasantly surprised to see that the GI registration for its double mundu and set mundu roused so much interest in the Unites States that a group of expatriate Malayalis placed an order worth more than Rs. 3 lakh for the products immediately after the GI registration.
The secretary of the Society P. A. Sojan is hopeful that the art and craft of making dhotis in Chennamangalam's unique way will get a new lease of life under the WTO regime, which recognises the traditions of production based on knowledge passed through generations to communities of artisans or agriculturists.
However, a senior official of the Coir Board says that GI registration has not taken Aleppey coir anywhere. The product was the second from Kerala to get GI recognition (2006). The official told a workshop on post-GI registration for selected craft indications of Kerala in the city on Thursday that coir product-makers did not warm to the idea of a generic recognition like Aleppey coir.
Increase in coir products trade in and outside the country might often be laid at the doors of GI registration though it was not a major issue to be factored into the business of coir exports, he said. Coir products exporters appeared to want GI recognition for their individual products.
The experience of Pochampally ikat tie-and-dye saris has entirely been different, said P. Nayak, Secretary of the Textiles Committee under the Union Ministry of Textiles. He told the session on Thursday that Pochampally sari-makers have increased their income by about 30 per cent since the GI Registration was received for the centuries-old ikat tradition.
So, said Dr. Nayak, Geographical Indications Registration helps provide a high level of protection to products and produce through its recognition of Intellectual Property Rights, which is different from both copyright and patents.

Melody Prochet, the Parisian psych-popper who records as Melody's Echo Chamber, released her self-titled album last month, with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker on board as producer. And given that her music is all woozy drift, it makes sense that the video for the album track "You Won't Be Missing That Part Of Me" is full of psychedelic effects and sun-dazed cinematography. Watch it below.

Melody's Echo Chamber is out now on Fat Possum.
